Step 3. Erase all your iPad data which will ensure the iPad is reset and the data erased is 100% unrecoverable.

Why should we erase all data instead of doing a simple reset?

Well, a simple reset is almost everyone’s choice. It is an unwise choice because it leaves you vulnerable especially if you want to resell you iPad because the private data and personal files that were there before the reset are recoverable.

The safest method that will not leave you worrying about exposing your private information is to erase all data using iMyFone Umate Pro. This software ensures that the data deleted is not in any way recoverable giving you a piece of mind when reselling or recycling your iPad.
